Chapter 380: Let’s go and play with the giant squid later!
"Harry, your performance just now was really not very good!" Wright praised, "Professor Lupine just kept praising you for your good performance after seeing you get out of the box containing the Boggart. That wording made my ears feel hot."
Harry, whose face was still a little rosy, also smiled and nodded. It could be seen that he was indeed very satisfied with his performance today.
After all, he was the best performer among the three.
Ron was going well until he met Hinkpunk, but when passing through the swamp, it seemed that due to poor lighting (or possibly poor eyesight), he was dragged to Qi by Hinkpunk. He sank waist deep into the swamp.
Xinkpunk is a small one-legged creature that looks like it is made of wisps of smoke. It is very fragile and has a low threat level. Their main method of hunting is to use the lanterns they were born with to lead strange travelers into the mud.
You must know that Xinkpunk is only level three in the Ministry of Magic's danger classification, and any wizard with a little ability can deal with it. And generally anyone who knows about this kind of creature will not be deceived by their seemingly harmless appearance.
But for some reason, Ron was trapped by Xinkpunk and was even brought into the swamp, almost unable to get out. He didn't know how many points Lupine would deduct him for this.
As for Hermione, she had been flawless until she reached the Boggart level, but when she met the Boggart...
It’s better not to say it, the little girl is relatively thin-skinned, and she is still blushing now! The "fear" of failing the exam is really interesting.
However, Wright originally thought that his relationship with Harry would be awkward. Firstly, it was because he had not seen Harry for nearly half a year, and secondly, because Chang Chu defeated Harry in the Quidditch match. Gryffindor team.
Unexpectedly, Harry not only didn't seem to mind, but was actually very happy about Ravenclaw's victory.
Wright guessed the reason. It might be because Gryffindor lost to Ravenclaw a long time ago. The more likely reason is that Harry may be less able to lift the Quidditch Cup than Ravenclaw. Would like to see Slytherin win the final victory in Quidditch.
Just as the group of people were walking towards the castle talking and laughing, Hermione seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Wright: "By the way, Wright, do you know Buckbeak? Hagrid's one." Hippogriff."
"I know," Wright said, "The time I went back to school, Hagrid told me about the Hippogriff and about Buckbeak hurting Malfoy."
"That's what Malfoy asked for!" Ron shouted angrily, "That little bad guy!"
"That's it," Hermione said calmly, regardless of Ron's words, "On the 6th - that is, this afternoon, the Ministry of Magic's Dangerous Animals Committee will send people to the school to prepare for Buckbeak's last... appeal."
Wright asked strangely: "Does Buckbeak still have a chance to appeal? How do I remember that most of the officials in the Ministry of Magic uphold an attitude of wizards being supreme? In most cases, as long as there is When magical creatures harm wizards, it will always be the magical creatures that are dealt with seriously.”
"Unless - I still remember that there seemed to be an example before, which was..." Wright frowned and thought for a moment, "1296? That year, a griffon seemed to have attacked a wizard. It was originally from the Ministry of Magic. People wanted to directly kill the human-headed lion, body, and dragon-tailed beast, but due to lack of strength, no wizard could—or dared—to get close to the human-headed lion, body, and dragon-tailed beast. The dragon-tailed beast was immediately acquitted, and the face of the Law Enforcement Department at that time was simply thrown into the ditch. "
Wright continued: "Since then, the attitude of those in the Ministry of Magic has become much stricter. When faced with some magical creatures that are extremely dangerous and require at least the lives of many wizards to test them, they will pretend They can't see anything. But when facing some less dangerous magical creatures, they will be extra tough and have to kill the animal that hurts the wizard."
"Why do I feel that the example Wright gave just now seems familiar to me? It's like I've heard it somewhere before?" Ron leaned close to Harry's ear and whispered.
"I also feel a little familiar." Harry said with some uncertainty, "Maybe we accidentally opened it when we were checking the file before."
"I personally think there is still a chance. After all, the reason why Buckbeak hurt Malfoy was because Malfoy did not respect the tradition of Hippogriffs and their extremely arrogant temperament..." Hermione said in a kind of way. He said in a low-confidence tone, "But the people from the Ministry of Magic don't seem to think so. They even brought an executioner this time."
Wright said with a strange expression: "The people from the Dangerous Animal Disposal Committee brought an executioner to hear the appeal? It sounds like they have already made a decision in the ministry, and coming here today is just a formality."
"Yes." Harry said dryly, "I also think they will probably chop off Buckbeak's head after listening to our conversation."
"This is illegal! They can't do this!" Ron shouted, "I spent so long checking information for Buckbeak, they can't pretend they didn't see anything!"
Wright was about to say something, but he suddenly saw the two figures standing in front of the castle gate, and signaled the trio to also be quiet.
Not far away, Fudge, wearing a thin-striped dark green cloak, was standing at the top of the steps, scanning the field back and forth. The other two wizards stood behind him. One was so old that he looked like he could be knocked down by a gust of wind; the other was tall and burly, not like a wizard, but more like a wilderness hunter. He even had a shiny weapon stuck in his waist. Big axe.
Fudge looked a little surprised when he saw the four Wrights, or to be precise, the arrival of Harry.
Harry was a little confused. He had met Fudge several times when he was in Hogsmeade, but this was the first time he had dealt with Fudge face-to-face like today.
"Harry Potter! What a famous person!" Fudge said, "Hello, you just finished the exam? Is it almost over?"
"Yeah." Harry responded briefly. He didn't know how to talk to a big man like Fudge, so he could only speak as briefly as possible.
As for Wright, Hermione and Ron, they stood in silence at the back.
"The weather is so nice," Fudge said with emotion, looking towards Hagrid's hut, "It's a pity... it's a pity..."
The old wizard standing behind Fudge said in a shaky voice: "Two o'clock, right, Fudge?"
Seeing that the four Wrights were fine, and seeing that Fudge and the old wizard were about to start chatting, they took this opportunity to leave from the castle gate and walked toward the auditorium on the first floor.
The auditorium was bustling with students walking and talking animatedly. The expressions of many people who would be finishing their exams today were obviously different from the others.
For example, Harry and Ron will finish their final Divination exam this afternoon, while Hermione will finish her Muggle Studies exam.
When Wright said goodbye to the trio and walked towards the long table in Ravenclaw, he learned that Chang Chu had no exams this afternoon and would only take the final Herbology exam tomorrow.
"Since there are no classes in the afternoon, how about we go out and have some fun?" Wright suggested.
"Do you think I am you?" Chang Chu complained, "How can a guy who hasn't taken the exam know my difficulties."
"But isn't the herbology test tomorrow? You've always performed best in herbalism." Wright said, "You can't review anything in an afternoon. It's better to relax and relax your tense spirit, that way you can be full of energy." to prepare for tomorrow’s exam.”
Chang Chu's expression immediately became hesitant. She had been huddled in the castle for many days since the review week began, and she was also craving for the summer scenery outside. The most important thing is that what Wright said is very reasonable, and it is not good to be tense all the time...
"It's settled?" Wright said with a smile, "Then let's go find the giant squid to play later!"
